USURPATION OF LEGISLATIVE POWERS.
Il, THE HONORABLE OFFICE OF THE OMBUDSMAN
COMMITTED GRAVE ERRORS OF FACTS AND LAW IN
FINDING THAT ABAD MERELY COMMITTED SIMPLE
MISCONDUCT AND NOT GRAVE MISCONDUCT.DISCUSSION/ARGUMENTS
THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE AGAINST AQUINO AND ABAD FOR
TECHNICAL MALVERSATION
FIRST ELEMENT OF TECHNICAL MALVERSATION IS PRESENT AS
TO AQUINO AND ABAD
4. The Complaint charges AQUINO and ABAD of the crime of
Technical Malversation, which is defined under Article 220 of the RPC.
Technical Malversation is different from Malversation under Article 217.
A comparison of their definitions is shown below:
Article 217. Malversation of
public funds or property
Article 220. lilegal use of public
funds or property
Any public officer who, by reason
of the duties of his office, is
accountable for public funds or
property, shall appropriate the
same or shall take or
misappropriate or shall consent,
through abandonment or
negligence, shall permit any other
person to take such public funds,
or property, wholly or partially, or
shall otherwise be guilty of the
misappropriation or malversation
of such funds or property xxx
Any public officer who shall apply
any public fund or property under
his administration to any public
use other than for which such
fund or property were
appropriated by law or
ordinance xxx.
5. A plain reading of the law reveals that Article 220 states “Any
public officer...” without repetition of Article 217's “Any public officer
who, by reason of the duties of his office, is accountable for public
funds or property...”6. Moreover, the case of Parungao v. Sandiganbayan,'
specifically stated the difference in the elements of Malversation and
Technical Malversation: .
“A comparison of the two articles reveals that their elements are
entirely distinct and different from the other. In malversation of
public funds, the offender misappropriates public funds for his own
personal use or allows any other person to take such public funds
for the latter's personal use. In technical malversation, the public
officer applies public funds under his administration not for his or
another's personal use, but to a public use other than that for which
the fund was appropriated by law or ordinance.” (Emphasis
supplied)
7. Parungao distinguishes between “(a) the offender is a public
officer; (b) by reason of his duties he is accountable for public funds
and property xxx" in Malversation; and “(a) the offender is an
accountable public officer; (b) he applies public funds or property
under his administration to some public use »«” in Technical
Malversation.
8. In its Decision’, the Honorable Office of the Ombudsman,
while correctly citing Parungao in enumerating the essential elements of
Technical Malversation, has erroneously cited Barriga vs. SB° and
Panganiban vs. People* in attempting to define what is an “accountable
public officer’ within the context of Technical Malversation. Clearly, all
the accused in Barriga and Panganiban cases are charged with
Malversation of Public Funds under Article 217 and not Technical
Malversation under Article 220.
9. The assailed Decision negated the first element of Technical
Malversation by finding that AQUINO and ABAD are not “accountable
public officers” following the definition provided in the cases of Barriga
vs. SB and Panganiban vs. People.
10. A closer look at the Panganiban case would show that the
cited case does not apply herein.
*G.R. No. 96025, May 15, 1991.
> page 21
* GRINos. 161784-86, 26 April 2005.
“GRINo. 211543, 9 December 201541. In Panganiban, the Municipal Mayor was charged with
Malversation of Public Funds under Article 217 of the RPC for his failure ~
to liquidate a cash advance. The Supreme Court in aquitting the
Municipal Mayor pointed out that the issue merely arose due to the error
committed by the Office of the Deputy Ombudsman for Luzon in charging
the accused of the crime of malversation despite the fact that the
Municipal Mayor received a cash advance properly. According to the
Supreme Court, what should have been charged is Failure of
Accountable Officer to Render Accounts under Article 218 of the RPC.
12. In Barriga the Supreme Court clarified that Article 217
pertains to “an accountable public officer is one who has actual control of
public funds or property by reason of the duties of his office.” However,
the Supreme Court goes on to state that it is the nature of the public
Officer's duties that determines whether or not malversation could be
committed by him.
“Even then, it cannot thereby be necessarily concluded that a
municipal accountant can never be convicted for malversation under
the Revised Penal Code. The name or relative importance of the
office or employment is not the controlling factor. The nature of the
duties of the public officer or employee, the fact that as part of his
duties he received public money for which he is bound to account
and failed to account for it, is the factor which determines whether or
not malversation is committed by the accused public officer or
employee. Hence, a mere clerk in the provincial or municipal
government may be held guilty of malversation if he or she is
entrusted with public funds and misappropriates the same.”
13. Either way, these cases pertain to the Malversation cases
under Article 217 of the RPC, and not Technical Malversation under
Article 220.
14. | The Supreme Court's distinction between these two crimes,
as explained in Parungao, and as a necessary consequence of the
difference in their definitions under the Revised Penal Code, should pave
the way for and support the Complainants’ assertion that unlike
malversation under Article 217 of the Revised Penal Code, technical
malversation does not require that the offender be an “accountable
public officer’ as defined in Barriga and Panganiban.15. — Following the plain text of the law, the element “that public
fund or property misapplied was under his or her administration” should
inform how the “accountable public officer’ stated as an element in -
Parungao should be articulated.
46. The word “administration”® generally means “performance of
executive duties” or “management’. There is therefore a stark distinction
between a public officer who is “accountable for public funds and
property” (Malversation) and a public officer who “administers public
funds and property” (Technical Malversation).
17. In the first instance, the cashiers, treasurers, collectors,
property officers in public service, would generally fall under the
definition of Malversation as they have, by virtue of their duties, actual
control of public funds or properties.
18. In the second instance, those public-officiais whose duties
pertain to the administration of public funds and property, such as the
executives in public service, fall under the definition of Technical
Malversation.
19. Further, the nature of the crime of Technical Malversation
necessarily requires the exercise of discretion, albeit gravely abused,
meaning that the public officials do not merely perform ministerial
functions but rather have greater authority with respect to how funds are
administered or juggled.
20. In this light, AQUINO and ABAD are the most accountable
officers over public funds per their mandates in the 1987 Constitution
and the Administrative Code. As Chief Executive and Budget Secretary,
they are the administrators of the entirety of the national budget.
21. | The roles of AQUINO and ABAD could not be discounted as
mere “policy-makers” of the DAP scheme. Rather, the policy direction
chosen by Respondents are the raisons d’étre of the DAP. Thus, it is
error for the Honorable Office of the Ombudsman to dismiss their
* hreps://wnww. merriam-webster.com/dictionary/administration (Last accessed March 13, 2017).
6participation as mere “policy-makers”® their acts are evidence to the fact
that they are indeed the administrators of the entire national budget.
SECOND ELEMENT OF TECHNICAL MALVERSATION IS PRESENT
AS TO AQUINO AND ABAD
22. As to the second element of the offense of Technical
Malversation, it is required that the public officer “applies public funds or
property under his administration to some public use”.
23. _ Inits Decision, the Honorable Office stated that AQUINO and
ABAD “did not apply public funds to other public purposes. The issuance
and approval of memoranda and budget circulars, in a strict sense,
cannot be equaled with application of public funds under the statute.”
24. However, further scrutiny of the assailed Decision reveals an
apparent error. In denying the existence of the second element of the
offense, the Honorable Office stated that “respondents declared
unobligated allotments and unreleased appropriations as “savings” and
directed the application of these funds to PAPs different from those
listed in the GAAs.”® Thus, while claiming that AQUINO and ABAD did
not “apply” public funds, the Decision nevertheless admits that
Respondents directed their application. Herein lies the flaw in the
assailed Decision’s logic.
25. By directing the application of public funds AQUINO and
ABAD are the clear masterminds or authors of the crime. They are
thus Principals by Direct Participation in the crime of Technical
Malversation.
26. Likewise, it is error for the Honorable Office to state that the
declaration of savings is irrelevant to the discussion of Technical
Malversation and that premature declaration of savings per se does not
consummate the offense. ° Premature declaration of savings is merely
the first step in the consummation of the offense of Technical
SPage 22.
” Page 23-24.
* page 24. Emphasis supplied.
*Page 26.Malversation, which was consummated upon application of the public
fund.
27. The Decision further ascertained whether AQUINO and
ABAD “had legal authority to transfer funds’'' and concluded that
Respondents relied on the Administrative Code and the 2011 and 2012
GAAs in their implementation and/or approval of the transfers of funds
under the DAP and as such, these “provisions gave the President
blanket authority to approve the use of any savings in the regular
appropriations in the GAAs for PAPs of any department, office or agency
to cover a deficit in any other item of the regular appropriations.”
28. This particular discussion in the Decision, as to whether there
is legal authority to transfer funds, is irrelevant to the crime of Technical
Malversation. Obviously, existence of a legal authority to transfer funds is
not an essential element of the crime of Technical Malversation. At best,
such argument is a mere extenuating circumstance which could affect
the application of penalties, but never to negate the existence of the
crime.
29. The same could be said to the Decision’s comment that
“these cases involve the interpretation of highly technical provisions of
law pertaining to budget management.”** To even offer such perspective
is detrimental and prejudicial to public service and a disservice to the
public. Surely the Filipino people have good reason to assume and trust
that our public officials possess the requisite technical knowledge and
expertise in the discharge of their duties. Any expectation less than that
clearly puts our democratic and republican system in mockery.
THIRD ELEMENT OF TECHNICAL MALVERSATION IS PRESENT AS
TO AQUINO AND ABAD
30. The assailed Decision did not anymore offer any discussion
as to the third element of Technical Malversation, that is, whether the
public use for which the public funds or property were applied is different
from the purpose for which they were originally appropriated by law.
See for example the éase of Catingub v. CA, GR No. L-28701, March 25, 1983, which discussed the similar
nature of estafa and malversation in that they are both transitory or continuing crimes.
Page 27.
» page 29-30.
* page 31.34 Clearly, the Supreme Court's Araullo Decision and
Resolution on the Motion for Reconsideration are sufficient bases for the
finding of actual diversion of public funds to other purposes.
THERE ARE FACTUAL GROUNDS FOR THE FINDING OF
PROBABLE AGAINST AQUINO AND ABAD FOR VIOLATION OF
SECTION 3 (E) OF RA 3019
32. The Decision found that AQUINO and ABAD did not act with
“either evident bad faith or gross inexcusable negligence in implementing
the authority to transfer funds to augment deficient items in the GAA"
The Honorable Office further found that “the adoption of the DAP was
motivated by a good purpose to spur economic growth and boost the
national economy. Considering the said objective, it cannot likewise be
said that they acted without care or with conscious indifference to
consequences insofar as other persons may be affected.”'°
33. The Decision did not agree with Complainant's assertion that
AQUINO’s evident bad faith or gross inexcusable negligence is shown by
the fact that in 2009 when still a senator, AQUINO already knew about
how the national budget is susceptible to abuse by the Executive. As
argued in the Complaint:
“It should be stressed that Aquino already knew beforehand that
his acts of tinkering with the annual GAAs and fiscal
dictatorship are contrary to the Constitution and a grave sin to the
principles of separation of powers, transparency, and good
governance. To quote from his own Explanatory Note in Senate Bill
3121 which Respondent Aquino filed in 2009:
[Als the “power of the sword” belongs to the President, “the
power of the purse” resides in Congress.
In practice however, the President still wields considerable
control over public spending through the exercise of budget
impoundment.
XXX
x x x [T] presidential prerogative has been misused and
abused, and has emasculated Congress’ authority to check
* Page 33.
™ Page 33-34.the President's discretionary power to spend public funds. In
effect, the President seems to a have a vast and unbridled
control over the national budget.
This bill seeks to increase congressional oversight and to
limit executive influence over specific appropriations in the
General Appropriations Act.
While his Explanatory Note mentions only impoundment, his bill as
a whole sought to control rescission, reservation, and deferral of
releases, all of which are similar to the unconstitutional acts
committed through the DAP.”
34. With due respect, Complainants could not subscribe to the
Decision’s apparent perspective pertaining the duties and responsibilities
of our public officials, that is, they are stupid or idiots until proven
otherwise. On the contrary, Complainants ascribe the highest standards
to them, especially to the Chief Executive, whose most basic task is to
uphold and defend the Constitution. The President and his alter egos are
thus presumed, like ordinary people, to know the law, and as such
ignorance, feigned or otherwise, is not an excuse.
35. | The same can be said of ABAD, who was in public service for
a long period of time, including the legislature.
36. The assailed Decision disagreed with the Complainants’
assertion that undue injury to the government and public service could
be sourced from the damages due to lost funds—ost hiring power, lost
authority to create infrastructure, and others— that necessarily proceed
from the fact of withdrawal of funds from the agencies before the
appropriate time.
37. For Complainants there is undue injury where the hiring of
and benefits for personnel in government agencies which are largely
time-bound such as Department of Education and state universities and
colleges. When their funds were prematurely withdrawn and declared as
savings, and without compliance with the GAAs, they lost the spending
power to hire regular personnel and give them their benefits at the right
time (before the start of school year or semester or upon compliance of
documentary requirements for allowances, for instance), the spending
power to hire contractual and casual employees and job order or contract
of service personnel to augment their regular complement, their ability to
* page 23 of the Complaint Affidavit.
10themselves declare savings at the end of the year to fund collective
negotiation incentives and deficiencies in personnel benefits as
authorized by the GAAs, among others.
38. According to the assailed Decision, such purported damage
does not constitute the undue injury under the statute.” Further, the
Decision said that “even the Supreme Court found that the DAP yielded
undeniably positive results.”
39. | However, such finding by the Supreme Court is only for the
purposes of laying the basis for the application of the Operative Fact
Doctrine and nothing else. For clearly, the “other side of the coin” is that
Respondents AQUINO and ABAD, in both the Supreme Court and in this
present proceedings, were shown to have violated the laws and the 1987
Constitution.
40. In the case of Fonacier vs. Sandiganbayan,"® the Supreme
Court therein stated that, referring to the interpretation of “undue injury”
that
“the third element of the offense is satisfied when the questioned
conduct causes undue injury to any party, including the government,
or gives any unwarranted benefit, advantage or preference. Proof of
the extent or quantum of damage is not thus essential; it
should be sufficient that the injury suffered or benefit received
can be perceived to be substantial enough and not merely
negligible.”
41. In this present case, the Complainant has alleged the extent
of the damage caused by the creation and implementation of the DAP. It
therefore complies with the standard of quantifiability and
demonstrability, for this Honorable Office merely have to look at the
submitted DAP documents to know the scope of the damage caused to
the government. Amounting to billions of pesos in public funds, the same
is definitely substantial and not merely negligible.

11THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE FOR USURPATION OF LEGISLATIVE
POWERS AGAINST AQUINO
42. In the Decision, the Honorable Office concluded that
“Abad, through the issuance of NBC 541, unduly modified,
expanded the meaning of savings under the GAA, which is beyond
his authority since this is a power reserved to Congress. An
argument could even be made that this circular constitutes an
attempt to repeal the GAA insofar as the definition of savings is
concerned. It is relevant to point out that the Supreme Court
intimated that the DBM actually forced the generation of savings in
order to have a larger fund for discretionary spending. Considering
that the circular also immediately directed the withdrawal of all
released allotments in 2011 charged against the 2011 GAA, which
remained unobligated as of 30 June 2012, this Office is inclined to
agree to such argument.”’*
43. The Decision further concluded that “through NBC 541, Abad
effectively suspended provisions of the 2011 and 2012 GAAs, an act
also proscribed under Article 239 of the RPC.””°
44. The Decision made an exhaustive discussion as to the
existence of probable cause for the crime of Usurpation of Legistative
Powers as against Respondent ABAD. However, glaring is the lack of
mention with respect to AQUINO.
45. _ The factual narration of the Honorable Office itself points to
the role of AQUINO in the commission of this particular offense, thus:
“THE FACTUAL BACKGROUND
In October 2011, Abad, by Memorandum dated 12 October 2011,
sought the approval of Aquino to implement the DAP, xx.
* page 40-41.
Page 41.Abad proposed the following fund sources for 2011: xxx
Aquino approved the program on 12 October 2011.
On 21 December 2011, Abad requested the grant of Omnibus
Authority to consolidate savings/unutilized balances in FY 2011
corresponding to completed or discontinued projects which may be
pooled to fund additional projects or expenditures. Aquino approved
the request on even date.
The following year, Abad, by Memorandum dated 25 June 2012,
requested the grant of authority to: 1) consolidate savings/unutilized
balances in FY 2012 corresponding to unfilled positions and
completed or discontinued projects; and 2) withdraw and pool
available and unobligated balances of agencies with low levels of
obligations, as of 30 June 2012, both for continuing and current
allotments. Aquino approved the request subject to further
discussion on the proposed additional projects identified for funding.
Abad proposed the following fund sources for 2012: xxx
On 18 July 2012, Abad issued National Budget Circular No. 541
(NBC 541) - Adoption of Operational Efficiency Measure —
Withdrawal of Agencies’ Unobligated Allotments As of June 30,
2012 — to carry out the objectives of the above-stated Memorandum
dated 25 June 2012. By Memorandum dated 04 September 2012,
he requested the realignment of the funds for priority projects and
expenditures of the government.
In May 2013, Abad requested the grant of similar authority to
consolidate savings/unutilized balances and withdraw unobligated
balances of agencies with low levels of obligations in FY 2013. This
request was likewise granted, but with reservation.”*
46. AQUINO, by approving the various DAP issuances, directly
participated in the commission of the offense.
47. The Decision, in its attempt to shield AQUINO mentioned
only NBC 541 apparently as the only document/act which “unduly
modified, expanded the meaning of savings under the GAA” and that
“through NBC 541, Abad effectively suspended provisions of the 2011
and 2012 GAAs’.
2 pages 3-6; citations omitted; emphases supplied.
1348. However, a closer scrutiny of all the other DAP issuances
reveal that all of them “unduly modified, expanded the meaning of
savings under the GAA”; all of them “effectively suspended provisions of .
the 2011 and 2012 GAAs.”
49. These DAP issuances, bearing the signature and approval of
AQUINO constitute the crime of Usurpation of Legislative Powers under
Article 239 of the RPC.
50. Assuming but definitely not conceding that it is only NBC 541
which constitute as a crime under Article 239 of the RPC, such document
could not have been issued by ABAD without the other DAP issuances
preceding it. NBC 541 merely confirms AQUINO’s other approved
actions. Thus, AQUINO is still liable.
ABAD’S ACT IS NOT MERELY SIMPLE MISCONDUCT, BUT RATHER
GRAVE MISCONDUCT ’
51. The Decision concluded that ABAD is administratively liable
for Simple Misconduct, finding that
“his actions were motivated only by a desire to fast-track public
spending and push economic growth and did not involve corruption,
willful intent to violate the law or disregard of established rules, his
misconduct is only Simple and not Grave.’
52. To the contrary, ABAD's very act of authoring the various
DAP issuances shows willful intent to violate the law or disregard of
established rules.
53. The assailed Decision erroneously erases the distinction
between “motive” and ‘intent’ as used in criminal law. It erroneously
posits that “motive”, whether good or bad, could supplant the existence
of criminal ‘intent’.
54. However, it is basic criminal law precept that specific intent is
not synonymous with motive. Motive is not an essential element of a
crime.
® page 42. Emphasis supplied.
1455. Therefore, whatever is ABAD's motive for the creation of the
DAP, the same is immaterial for this Honorable Office's purposes in ~
determining the existence of probable cause for the crimes above-
enumerated.
56. Likewise, it is basic that “an unlawful act was done with an
unlawful intent.”
“Hence, dolo may be inferred from the unlawful act. In several
cases, the Supreme Court ruled that ‘When it has been proven that
the appellants committed the unlawful acts alleged, it is properly
presumed that they were committed with full knowledge and with
criminal intent, ‘and it is incumbent upon them to rebut such
presumption. ‘Further, the same court also ruled that when the law
plainly forbids an act to be done, and it is done by a person, the law
implies the guilty intent, although the offender was honestly
mistaken as to the meaning of the law which“he had violated. If the
act is criminal, then criminal intent is presumed.”
57. Simply put, the finding that ABAD has committed the crime of
Usurpation of Legislative Powers as defined in Article 239 of the RPC,
the same necessarily qualifies his misconduct as grave.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, the Complainants that the Honorable Office of the
Ombudsman reconsider its March 3, 2017 Decision, and instead render

violation of Section 3 (e) of RA 3019;
3. Finding probable cause to indict AQUINO for the crime of
Usurpation of Legislative Powers;
